You will need an enema bag to take an Enema. Most people will find it difficult to retain an enema for more than a few minutes. If the bowel is not clean, then the peristaltic action of the colon will push against the fecal masses and produce intense pressure in the rectum. This will frequently happen with your first enema in a series. Not much to do but expel and try again. If you get a strong cramp and an urge to expel, getting up is the worst thing you can do. Making the descending colon vertical adds gravity to the force of water wanting out of the rectum. This is how to have an accident. If you can, wait while lying down. The pressure will pass in 10-15 seconds as the wave of peristalsis passes the sigmoid colon and reaches the end of the rectum. Or you can use a retention plug. Then you can get up and expel without straining to hold it in. If you must go to the toilet, and the pressure is to intense, you can hold the buttocks together with both hands or press a folded wash cloth against your anus. To help the anal muscles retain the solution.
When expelling the enema:
Massage abdomen in a clockwise direction this will help move the solution back toward the
rectum and anus.
Massaging the abdomen while expelling the enema helps move the solution and feces toward
the rectum and out the anus.
The best position for expelling your enema is squatting over the toilet. The squatting
position puts pressure on your abdomen from your thighs.
In many countries, toilets are made so that people squat when they move their bowels. The Welles
Step positions your body so that you are squatting when you sit on the toilet.
Squatting, supports the abdominal wall and the bowel as we bear down, brings about
an easier bowel evacuation. In this way.
People who use the Welles
Step tend to have fewer hemorrhoids, hernias, anal fissures, varicose veins and use
less laxatives.
It fits under the toilet when not in use.
